Unknown footage of a playful interview with the group in 1965 in Cardiff has been discovered in Wales during a house clearance, in a bread bin, the BBC report, footage of them with the Maharishi being interviewed in 1967 has also been discovered by Omega Auctions, along with a sound recording of John doing an acoustic version of God
.

On the 1965 footage, the BBC comment:

...the band are seen joking with a journalist attempting to interview them, with John Lennon
saying Paul McCartney
has five children in Swansea and Ringo Starr
joking their next film would be a Western.

They also break into a rendition of There's No Business Like Show Business, and pull funny faces throughout the interview.

Paul Fairweather, from Omega Auctions, says:

All four Beatles are in fine form throughout both of the Cardiff films, laughing and joking, while the interviewer tries to remain serious.

The sound and image quality is fantastic. I expect these have never been seen since 1965.

And you know the figure for those under 24 streaming the Beatles has to be higher because you don't suddenly start listening to the Beatles at 18. Well, okay, some might do but not everybody that falls into the 18-24 age group cited.

Also it's a very busy road, don't know how long it would take to unscrew a manhole cover but you'd definitely have a good few drivers catch you.

Although, if you were wearing a fluorescent jacket, they'd think you were a workman.

So you've cased the crime scenetarget area thing then?

Just want to say.... has anybody taken a recent photo of that manhole?

#3 on the Billboard chart for 12 October chart, published today, jumping from #71, and also #3 on the Rolling Stone chart.

The album moved over 81,300 total units the week of September 27th to October 3rd. Unsurprisingly, sales accounted for the majority of the album’s units, with 61,100 album sales in its first week compared to 6.1 million on-demand audio streams. (By comparison, the Number One album, DaBaby’s Kirk, sold just 7,400 albums, but saw 172.8 million streams in its first week.)

The Dairy Cottage, 120a Allerton Road, Woolton is to be opened as an AirBnB, the Liverpool Echo reports.

Former home of George Toogood Smith, Uncle George, husband of Mimi. The back of Mendips on Menlove Avenue could be seen from the garden. Mimi used to tell George that was the type of house she wanted to live in when she got married. He fulfilled her wish but kept 120a.

Julia
lived there for a period with John (and Freddie when he was home) in 1942-43, after which John moved in with Mimi and George at Mendips for most of the time. 120a was next occupied by John's Aunt Harrie. He spent much time there over the years, stashing many of his paintings, drawings, writings and books in the cupboard under the stairs after Mimi had destroyed some at Mendips.

The new owner, an American named Kelley Kupfer, who came across it while pursuing her bucket list after surviving a brain tumour. At first she thought it would need just a lick a paint, but as she thought more, she aimed at doing something that reflected the history of the house, with help from members of the Lennon family, including family photos on the walls.

And it even has a soundproofed rehearsal room fully equipped with Beatley instruments:
